2 In recent years, numerous phenomena have taken place within the strategic environment of the State of Israel, leading to changes in the threat characteristics along with the strength of the State of Israel, which have spread out from immediate surroundings to distant circles. The document is based on the understanding that the conventional and nonconventional threats stemming from the first circle are on the decline, while, on the other hand, an increase has been detected in sub-conventional threats (such as: terror organizations, using underground capabilities, or high trajectory fire to mention but a few) and cyber threats. This document has been written having in mind that in the course of the Multi-Year Plan, the IDF's strength must be built up both for multi-arena and multidimensional defense, and for attacks on a number of fronts simultaneously, and therefore we must be prepared to take action. In light of future challenges and changes in the enemy's characteristics, this "IDF Strategy" document, presents the required changes in the IDF, such as: reinforcing the effectiveness of land maneuverability, varying operational capabilities within the ‘Operation Between Wars’, strengthening the cybernetic dimension and maintaining clear intelligence, air and marine superiority. In terms of force operation, the strategy is based on the classical principles – Deterrence, Detection, Defense, and Defeating the Enemy. In addition to the above, this paper regulates the concept of Command and Control during war, to enable the effective IDF operations in the combat arena.
